ITV, I Love You!
Those words are four I never thought I’d use, but I just discovered that they’ve put five episodes of Metal Mickey online.
Okay, so it is a bit lame. And I was, oddly enough, far too young for it when it was broadcast (I would have been three when it started and I think I only ever saw one episode when I was a kid) but my early childhood scrapbook contained innumerable pictures lovingly cut out from magazines because they thought a comedy robot would be just the sort of thing a young boy would like when he was older.
Life was much simpler when I was interested in robots. Now I’m interested in men it all seems so much more complicated.
You can’t switch them off for one thing.

Men can be switched off… all it takes is the cost of a new passport and “administration” fees…

OMG Metal Mickey! I know I’m going to show my age here but I used to run home from school to watch it..how bloody fantastic is that? (Sorry don’t mean to sound so excited but hey what the hell!)

And it now seems so popular that I can’t access it!
Darn!

Hmm. Still working for me. (And thanks to a handy little plugin called IETab, I can even use it in Firefox!)
Thanks for the tip Emma, raretv has now delivered me “Dark Towers” and “A Ghost of a Chance” which I have been heartily enjoying!
Bobbie - wasn’t Metal Mickey on a Saturday?

Got something to say?
If it’s classic TV you’re after then raretv.co.uk is worth a look
